    anything and everything. I like to paint (acrylics are faster than oils...and less smelly) and lately I've been using India ink, colored pencil, acrylic, and construction paper...I guess that's my new style? I don't know. I like incorporating fun stuff into my artwork too. Like bits of ribbons, glitter, old headphones...

    Used to like oil pastels, but now I suck at them, don't know why. Gotten really into acrylic lately. I HATE chalk pastels, so bad...so bad.

    pencils and acrylics. i like using oils but it takes waaay to long compared to acrylics. i can't use any other medium, i'm crap with colour unless i'm using those.
    Watercolours are evil and chalk is the devils work, the squeeky noise it makes goes through me.

    Pen and ink or pencil. Digital memory also qualifies if you count weather photos that nature was good enough to pose for.

    computer 3d graphix.

    you'd think for someone as poor and broke as i am it would be something like ordinary pencils and paper, or maybe a sharp stick in the mud, and i do and have used those too.

    along with more conventional things that i never get arround to enough to get really good at.

    and that of course is the thing.

    that's why the doing stuff on the computer.
    because it's so much fun to play with that way that i actualy DO get arround to actualy doing something with it, and often enough, if not to become REALLY good, at least progress toward being reasonably passable.

    heck, i'm at least interested in just about everything, but since i can't always go out and get more stuff, and this computer is something i do happen to have, ironic perhapse when the most expensive thing becomes the most and nearly only thing available, but that's typical of my life. that kind of ironic bizaarness.

    so anyway this is what i have and use because this is what i have and use.

    i do also sometimes draw, sketch, doodle, even paint, in other mediums.

    let's see, there's fabric paint, in which i do sort of hard edged graphix looking kind of stuff on t-shirts. my own mostly. no one seems to want to pay more for them then the shirt and paint costs me. not even that much. which is why i've sort of given up that. other then for myself.

    but the stuff i do on the computer and post on the net, that's to try and illustrate the kind of world i'd like to live in, and that, is what motivates me to do it.

    i've got a couple of intersting things i've done in fine tipped felt pen
    and even one i did 40 years ago with bamboo brush.

    oh and i did a lot of photography when i was younger too.
    haven't owned a decent camera in ages though.
    i keep wanting to get one of those digital ones i can upload from directly

    experimental photography, its like finding a new pair of eyes.

    markers, and paint sometimes too because sometimes you cant get all your ideas out with a camera.

    I love color pencils and watercolors, when you mess up you really can't fix it so it is fun to find a different way to do it.

    I like colored pencils and sometimes oil pastels.
    Paint's nice to work with, but I'm not very good at painting.
    Um... at the risk of sounding childish... I like to work with Sharpies sometimes, too.

    I mostly take photographs, though. I'm not much of a traditional artist at all.
